WATCH: Ever Had an Ear Orgasm?

Did you know that there is a g-spot in the ear canal? I didn't. And after my supposed ear orgasm experience recently, I'm not sure that mine is working.

享耳空间 Xiǎng ěr kōngjiān is an ear cleaning and sensory experience specialist center, which simply translates to Ear Orgasm in English. For the price of a one-hour massage, you will get a deep ear cleaning and massage, which includes one upper body part (head, shoulders or back) of your choice. Watch the video below for a glimpse of the whole ear orgasm experience, and then keep reading. Because who doesn't want to know more about this?!

They start by peering into your ears with little finger-sized torches to assess how much they need to clean, then proceed to tease your senses by running feathers over your face before the cleaning begins. A pair of tweezers does most of the dirty work, and at the end, they use what felt like a pipe cleaner to softly brush the insides of my ear. I was both thrilled and disgusted by the stuff she pulled out, and if you want to experience the same sensations (that is, equal parts disgust and thrill), then definitely go watch that video! My specialist also used a small video camera to show me what the insides of my ear looked like after. It was rather red and irritated – which is apparently perfectly normal for a first-timer – but squeaky clean without a hint of ear wax or dead skin in sight.

To put your mind at ease, they use brand new instruments for every client, and are always sensitive to your needs, ready to stop any time you feel uncomfortable.

Scientific research shows that an ear massage triggers the release of the body’s natural painkillers, a.k.a endorphins. So basically, when your ear gets stimulated, you feel pleasure. Accordingly, my friend promised that I would have such an incredible time that I got pretty excited myself, but in the end, it was mostly cleaning catharsis that I felt. The ear massage was good and the upper body massage was decent, but you can tell that's hardly their area of expertise. I'm not surprised that I failed to experience an ear orgasm, since I've never been particularly good at listening and sometimes think I'm prematurely going deaf. Which is to say my ears are probably a bit dead inside. But if you're sensitive to sound, or if you just want to see if they can find your ear g-spot, go ahead and book an appointment!

Ear Orgasm has several outlets all over Beijing, including ones in Dongzhimen, Shuangjing, and Haidian district. Find the outlet closest to you by searching the name (享耳空间) in Dianping.
